Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Although Bai Ling and Ximen Lang's relationship has broken through the previous test and reached a new height.

As for Ximen Lang's secrets, thanks to the breakthrough in their relationship and the conversation after they finished, he had learned almost everything he needed to know.

Even the secret to his cheat ability, which Ximen Lang had always kept secret and was afraid of revealing even a little bit, was revealed to Bai Ling by Ximen Lang during the conversation just now.

But this doesn't mean they are completely honest with each other and have no secrets left.

At least, Ximen Lang's so-called secrets were known to everyone from the moment he appeared in the world of Beijing. Later, these two secrets were quickly discovered by later generations. After much deliberation, Bai Ling still did not dare to tell Ximen Lang directly.

This was certainly not because Bai Ling intentionally kept it from Ximen Lang or didn't want him to know.

In fact, Bai Ling wanted to tell Ximen Lang these secrets more than anyone else, so that there would be no more barriers between them and they could truly be honest with each other.

But there's no way to say it, I really can't say it.

At least we can't just say whatever comes to mind right now.

It will take some time for Ximen Lang to process the information and recover.

Then we'll have a proper discussion with Lao Luo and the others to confirm that there are no problems and that it's indeed time to completely confront Ximen Lang.

Only when everything is absolutely certain can one tentatively confess to Ximen Lang.

As for later generations who were both allies and competitors...
For Xia Yiyi and her group, whether it was Bai Ling or Lao Luo, their views were all surprisingly consistent.

That is.
"I don't care if they die!"

Although it may sound a bit crude, that's really how it is.

Although their relationship was indeed very close, even closer than that of typical twin brothers, it was truly extraordinary.

But no matter how close you are, it's still not the real you.

Especially in terms of how to get closer to Ximen Lang and completely bind him to their side, they are in a complete competitive relationship.

In this situation, the fact that Bai Ling didn't deliberately create difficulties or trip up Xia Yiyi and the others from the future already shows that Bai Ling is kind and generous!

Still want her help?

"Look at me, look at me carefully, do I look like a great traitor?"

Therefore, it is impossible to say that directly.

The thought had barely flashed through Bai Ling's mind when she immediately dismissed it with obvious disdain.

Not only did she not want to help at all, she even wanted to run up to Xia Yiyi right now and show off the achievements she had made that she had always dreamed of!

The thought of Xia Yiyi made him feel terrible; he was filled with disbelief, envy, jealousy, and astonishment.
Bai Ling felt that the sky had become much brighter, and she immediately became somewhat impatient.

But before that
"What about Lao Luo? If it were just you who disappeared, that would be fine, but I was with you! And in that situation, you just vanished in a flash, without even having a chance to say goodbye to Lao Luo!"

"Old Luo's health has always been a bit poor because of the two of us taking turns making him angry. Now, we've teamed up to do this to him again! He's going to explode on the spot! He might even develop high blood pressure from all this anger. What are we going to do?"

Bai Ling was genuinely worried.
Of course, I'm not worried about Lao Luo's health.

Although Lao Luo has been suffering from poor health lately due to frequent late nights and various mental strains, often sporting dark circles under his eyes and looking quite haggard.

But after all, the old man still has his strength.

Moreover, being in one's fifties is the prime of life, the time to make great strides and showcase one's talents.

Back then, in order to command troops in battle, obtain battlefield information in a timely manner, and respond immediately, going without sleep for days and nights was nothing out of the ordinary.

Isn't that more stressful than this?
So, this is nothing at all!

Trust the old man, his health is definitely not in any serious condition.

And what if something really goes wrong by accident?
Medical conditions have improved now; unless a person dies on the spot, they can still be saved if given time.

Therefore, Bai Ling was not really worried about Lao Luo's health.

What she was really worried about was the series of chain reactions that would be triggered after they left.

It is foreseeable that after they suddenly disappeared, the situation in Beijing will be thrown into chaos!

If this accidentally causes a major mess and leads to terrible consequences...
That would be the end!

It was precisely because she was so worried about this that Bai Ling was able to suppress her urge to immediately go and show off to Xia Yiyi, and instead asked Ximen Lang what they should do now, whether they should hurry back and clarify things, so as not to cause any big trouble over there because of their sudden disappearance.

Bai Ling's reminder startled Ximen Lang.

I quickly glanced at the time on my phone and saw that it was already noon the next day.

Ximen Lang jumped out of bed in a flash.

I was shocked and exclaimed in disbelief.

"Wow, does time really fly by? I just took care of something and chatted for a bit. And a whole day has already passed? No way!"

Seeing that Ximen Lang only realized the seriousness of the problem at this moment, Bai Ling was speechless.

"What do you think? We spent countless hours just figuring out your weird cheat system! And then, figuring out this whole hodgepodge of film and television worlds took countless more hours! With all these things combined, of course time flies!"

Not to mention, they also took care of something else in between, and even took a nap.

just
"Can you blame me? I explained everything to you clearly, but you just don't understand. You're so stupid, I wish I could open your head and put my own inside! What can I do?"

It's not really Ximen Lang's fault. Bai Ling, who had never experienced the information explosion of later generations and had no concept of time travel or cheat codes, couldn't accept these new concepts that Ximen Lang had thrown out so quickly.

Yes, Bai Ling was flipping through various online novels as if she had discovered a new continent, trying to understand these concepts.

As a result, once she understood this, she became completely absorbed in it.

Therefore, the reason why things have turned out this way and dragged on for so long is really inseparable from Bai Ling.

But now is clearly not the time to assign blame.

so.
"Just give me a straight answer on what to do."

Seeing that Bai Ling had directly passed the problem to him, Ximen Lang said helplessly.

"What else can we do? Hurry back and tell the old man! And about this driver, you need to get Lao Luo to take care of it! Let me tell you, I've been bragging to Gu Zidi and the others about how great I am! If we're delayed because of the driver, I'll definitely criticize him, I'm telling you!" This is really strange.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Ximen Lang still enjoys criticizing people.

In fact, Ximen Lang has always been like this.

From the moment he received his position at the steel rolling mill and put on that old cadre uniform, this inexplicable problem never stopped.

The strangeness mentioned here refers to...
"From what you're saying, you're not planning to come back with me? What's going on?"

"Close your eyes and you'll find out exactly what's going on in a moment."

Bai Ling soon found out exactly what the situation was.

Simply put, we have no idea what Ximen Lang did.

Anyway, when Bai Ling closed her eyes as Ximen Lang instructed, and then opened them again...
It's hard to say whether it's in the head or somewhere else.

In any case, she definitely felt several portals, or portal-like things.

This really gave Bai Ling a big fright.

However, when she realized what these portal-like things actually were, Bai Ling became very excited.

That's right, the specific process is unknown.

In any case, thanks to Ximen Lang's machinations, Bai Ling also gained abilities similar to Ximen Lang's.

Of course, it's a stripped-down version.

How do you explain that?
It's roughly the difference between the main system and the subsystem.

“I am the superior, and you are my subordinate. I can do almost anything I can think of, such as leaving coordinates in all the places I've been. Then, like Mundo, I can go wherever I want without any restrictions!”

"But you are different. At most, you can only temporarily obtain the right to use these portals that I have already opened, with my authorization, and the ability to carry some supplies and travel through these portals."

"What do you mean? It means that from now on, not only will I be able to travel freely between the two worlds, but you will also be able to travel back and forth between the two worlds, and you can even bring supplies with you."

"So, stop overthinking. From now on, just focus on getting the job done. Can you feel all these portals in your head? Behind each of these portals is a massive warehouse in the world of Beijing!"

"So many warehouses! I have to restock them all one by one. And there will definitely be more in the future. I definitely don't have the patience for that! So, you should do it."

"In a little while, I'll take you to a few more places, which are the special storage points here for supplies that need to be transported back. Then, you can take your time to prepare them according to your needs."

"As for me? I can do whatever I want! Just don't bother me with these kinds of nonsense anymore!"

This is definitely the thing Simon Lang has wanted to do most in the past few months!

At first, it was fine, since there were only a few warehouses in total, and the supplies that needed to be brought over were also limited.

In addition, there's an indescribable sense of accomplishment and a sense of novelty that sustains it.

In this situation, Ximen Lang was naturally willing to work hard and do his best to accomplish everything.

But as time goes on...
As this enthusiasm gradually faded.

This was something that Ximen Lang found somewhat unbearable.

Especially as the business in the Beijing city area expands, the number of places requiring supplies and transportation increases.

It's really incredibly annoying.

Ximen Lang, who only had a three-minute attention span, immediately wanted to quit.

But the high expectations of so many people, as well as his sense of responsibility and dedication, prevented him from simply quitting!

Therefore, it is imperative to quickly find a hardworking and trustworthy person to help him with these complicated tasks!
Bai Ling is undoubtedly the best wife who is hardworking, dutiful, and deeply trusted by Ximen Lang!

Especially after both sides have been completely honest with each other and have said almost everything.

This desire was even stronger than Bai Ling's immediate urge to show off to Xia Yi.

Without hesitation, after confirming that he indeed had the ability, he gave Bai Ling the stripped-down version of his cheat ability.

Ximen Lang immediately began to act.

After repeatedly confirming its safety, it was given to Bai Ling immediately.

"Of course, I can give it to you, and I can take it back anytime. So, work hard, understand? If you dare to slack off, I'll fire you in a heartbeat, and you'll be crying your eyes out!"

Before they've even started doing anything, the capitalist's habits are already showing.

He still revealed it to his wife, Bai Ling.

"I must say, as expected of you! You really are perfect to be hung on a street lamp as an ornament! But don't worry, I definitely won't slack off or do anything lazy. Not only because of the great responsibility—Beijing is my home—but also because I don't want to, can't, and will never betray your trust!"

This is absolutely Bai Ling's most genuine feeling.

His sincerity moved even Ximen Lang.

Especially after Bai Ling readily agreed that she would take care of all the dirty and tiring work, while Ximen Lang could simply be a hands-off manager, doing whatever he wanted, and showing off in front of others at any time.

He couldn't wait even a moment longer. After being moved, Ximen Lang immediately revealed his capitalist nature and started urging them on.

"What are you waiting for? Get up now! I'm telling you, right now, right now, there's a huge pile of supplies in this warehouse, urgently waiting to be transported to Beijing!"

"And back in Beijing, there are countless minerals of all kinds waiting to be transported here to make money from us! Both sides are counting on you and eagerly anticipating your return! At this crucial moment, you can't afford to let us down!"

He practically pushed and shoved Bai Ling all the way to the restroom.

After supervising Bai Ling's washing up, just like supervising prisoners, I finished supervising her.

With a familiar snap of her fingers, Bai Ling was completely overwhelmed by the sheer volume of supplies before she came to her senses.

The suddenness of the event undoubtedly disrupted Bai Ling's train of thought and confused her thinking.

As for what Bai Ling was actually thinking...
That is of course
"Is Ah Lang really as stupid as we think? Otherwise, why do I feel like something's not quite right? It doesn't seem like the conversation just jumped around and we ended up here before we were honest with each other. It's more like he guided us step by step, ultimately leading to this situation. What exactly is going on?" (End of Chapter)
